You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to Girls haven\'t improved in twenty years.
Learn how to stop pushing Girls away and Instead Pull them toward unexplored paths to fulfillment..
Following the guidelines in this book could literally put a million women into STEM jobs within the next decade.
With extensive research and actionable steps, Pull, Don\'t Push clarifies the challenges facing STEM outreach and will help you create a new framework for your efforts.
As a woman enjoying a career in STEM, author Julie Newman is committed to changing this.
Plus, Girls are telling us they\'re eager for the kind of work engineering offers-yet we fail to help them connect the dots.
This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.
While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering-where there is still only one woman for every five men.
Currently, dated narratives push Girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to Pull them in.
The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it.
